Chapter 27
Illness
Pan's POV
I walked up to my room slowly and didn't care to look were I was going and what I was doing. I just wanted to change cloths and get down to the GR so I could spar with Vegeta. But my luck would not allow me to get to my room without conflict. I heard a voice call to me and I looked around quickly. But no one was there.
The voice was muffled but I had a feeling that I knew it, who was it? Were did it come from? I asked myself as I heard it again echo inside my head. It spoke out my name. I quickly Ran to my room and collapsed on my knees. It was Vegeta's voice. Then there came the images. I saw Vegeta lying amongst the dead in the infirmary and I was there with him once again. I felt everything as if I really was there again. It was right at the moment that he took his last breath in pain. It was the moment I lost it. It was to Much for me and I broke out of my own thoughts with a scream. If it were any louder it would have broke glass. I slammed myself on the ground connecting my head hard on the wooden floor.
I still heard Vegeta's voice call out. It continued to echo and as it dead I felt head begin to pound with an unbelievable headache and then my body begin to feel both hot and cold. I was numb but I could feel the mixture of sweat and rain pour over my face.
I heard voices come from behind me. It was Bra and Bulma "Pan what's going on? What's wrong?" They said urgently and Bulma knelt by me bending backwards into her arms. I was having trouble breathing and I was shivering uncontrollably. I couldn't answer. I was speechless as I continued to hear the voices in my head. It was no longer just Vegeta, but it was Conca, Eniguma, my whole troop that I had commanded, and Goku. They didn't just call my name but they called me weak, they said I was stupid for wishing such a thing. They said I should just die. I refused to. I wouldn't give up, but I wanted to so badly, I had gotten this far so why give up now. Something would have to turn out for me sooner or later.
I felt every muscle in my body tighten and other muscles in my body painfully began to cram up in the strain. I now gasped. Bulma was yelling for Trunks and for Bra to call 911 "She has a high fever, she burning up." she yelled and I forced my eyes open and to see the world around me. Bra was standing over me with the phone in her hand crying as she told the operator were the house was located and I saw Trunks knelt beside his mother and he had my hand in his and tried to comfort me.
"What's going On!" I heard an angry voice say from down the hall and then I spotted Vegeta walking into the room. At that moment my body began to have spasms. It was the most pain I had experienced in this life. I had felt worse in my non life but this beat everything in my current time line. Vegeta Looked at me and his face seemed to flush with worry. I closed my eyes and refused to look at him. Was this the way it was going to be. I felt like I would die. Would I die tonight? Would this tortured life soon disappear into oblivion and then what? I couldn't think of that. I had fight now, fight to stay awake, alive, calm. I tried to relax but my body wouldn't. I felt heat waves pass over my body and then I suddenly felt myself being lifted off the ground.
It was Vegeta "I'll carry her outside for when the ambulance comes" he said and quickly walked out the door and down the stairway. He carried me like I was a child but I didn't mind cause I was close to him. I pushed myself up against his chest hoping it would somehow help to ease my pain. I yelped out in pain as I felt another heat wave pass over my body. Some of my muscles un-cramped only for the other muscles to cramp up. We were in the living room when I heard the door burst open and I heard the paramedics rush in. They took me out of Vegeta's arms but I refused to let go as I clung to his shirt and I looked at him desperately with a mixture of pain a sickness. I managed to push out a pain filled word "Stay" and then I gasped for air. He tore my hand from his shirt and held onto it for a few seconds before laying it down on the stretcher they had laid me on. He stayed there though… he stayed by my side. I forced a smile to my face. Well I thought I did but I wasn't sure. I tried I know that. The paramedics picked up the stretcher and carried me off into the ambulance and they allowed Vegeta to stay with me. The ride seemed like it took hours but yet it only took minutes.
The pain was so unbearable and I couldn't even notice them sticking the iv's in my arm. I heard the paramedics yelling around me for different things as the looked and monitored me closely. They shot me up with muscle relaxers and my body slowly relaxed but I continued to have spasms and heat waves.
All I wanted to do was to look at Vegeta. To see him there, he knew nothing of my non life but he was still my strength. Eniguma and Conca were also my strength. But they weren't here. They weren't close. I needed Vegeta, no matter what he had to stay by me.
The paramedics began to ask me questions and speaking to me. I understood them but nothing really seemed to match up. "Pan Can you hear me? Can you speak?" It seemed my breath became easier and I tried to work my vocal cords.
I opened my mouth began to try to form word but nothing came out. I didn't know what was wrong and my stomach bubbled up even more with the scared feelings. I began to panic and tried to move. I kept trying to use my voice but there was only the sound of air moving thru my throat. I couldn't stop my fear.
"Pan, calm down" the paramedics said as he moved a rage over my head to clear the sweat. I was still burning up. I still felt numb but I moved my hand to my mouth and felt it and tried again to from word. The Paramedic removed my hand quickly and I struggled against him and raised my hand again. He was pretty astonished to see my strength and tried again to put my hand down.
I began to panic even more. I always had a fear of being held down. It scared me and so I resisted. The other two paramedics began to try to push me down as well but I resisted them too. I had tossed one of the to the wall of the ambulance and they were yelling to each other to sedate me and strap me down but I wouldn't let them.
Vegeta came from behind one of the Paramedics and Pushed him out of the way. He leaned down and forced both of my arms down and looked me dead in the eyes. I was filled with fear. "Brat. Stay still!" He yelled at me and I struggled a bit more my nerves still going haywire. "Don't make things Difficult." he said and let the paramedics get the needle into my arms.
I felt dizzy suddenly and I tried to speak once more but nothing came out he held my arms down as I drifted off into the darkness.
I had no idea what to do now… I was left to a dreamy stat and left to sit in my own mind. What was going on outside of me. What was going on? Did I just have a really bad fever? Was I going to survive? My thoughts continued until I began to hear voices.
Again they were calling my name. They weren't any of my soldiers or anyone from my non life. They were of Bra and Bulma. I felt sensations and then finally my body allowed me to come back to the real world. I opened my eyes weakly and saw Bulma and bra leaning over me both on each sides of a hospital bed. As soon as I had opened my eyes Bra smiled happily but Bulma's face still contained worry.
Bra quickly hugged me being careful though no to hit the iv tubes and let go to speak to me. "ohh thank goodness your okay Pan." she said to me and laid her hand on top of mine.
I looked around the room worriedly and spotted my grandfather and my grandmother sleeping in one of the many seats in the room. Goku must have really been worried cause on any other occasion eh wouldn't even think about walking into the hospital. I tried to sit up but my body was in so much pain I knew I couldn't do it on my own. Bulma seen what I had tried to do and she lifted me into a sitting position and laid pillow's behind my back.
"Thank you" I said… wait… I lifted my hand to my mouth. I thought it but I didn't say it. No words came out. Nothing only air. I looked at Bulma quickly and panicked. My eyes were wide and painful. What was going on? She took my hand in hers firmly.
"It's okay Pan. Just calm down." she said looking up at Bra "Hit the nurse button and tell her to get the doctor." she said and looked back to me. "You had a really bad fever. You should feel lucky that you were treated while you did." she said smiling but still worried. "You could have bee paralyzed." she said. And at that moment the doctor walked in… in the deepest part of my mind I had hoped that it would be Genshi but it was all wishful thinking and it wasn't. It was a large Fat man who was bald and geeky looking with his glasses with an inch of Glass.
He walked up to me and began to look at all the machines I was connected to and took his clip board and wrote a few things down. "Good morning Pan. It is good to see you awake after these 2 days." I was kind of shocked. I was sleeping for 2 days. I didn't feel any better or refreshed. "Well just to inform you on everything. You had a bad fever that was caused by obvious reasons" I knew what he was talking about. "And well I believe that you may have been stressed is why it got so out of hand. Your mental and physical condition should all recover in about a few days. You have strained muscles and they will be sore for a while but everything is fine." He said and checked out a few other machines "You should be able to leave probably here in about an hour or even earlier, as soon as the papers are signed." He said and then looked at me.
I wasn't fine, what about my voice? I began to try to speak again and held my hands to my throat with my mouth wide open.
He looked at me for a while in confusion and then raised his eyebrows. "oh, what's this?" he said and grabbed a popsicle stick out of his pocket and grabbed a flashlight off the wall. "say ahhhh." he said and leaned down sticking the thing down my throat and I felt like I would gag. He pulled the stick out and then he turned the flash light off. he turned and threw away the stick and placed the flashlight back. "Well there is nothing visibly wrong with your throat, it might have been your cold. I think it was a shock to your system." he said.
Bulma looked at him expecting more but there was none. "And!" she said impatiently.
He looked at her and flashed her a calming smile. "Well her voice could come back to her today tomorrow, in a month." he said and looked at me. "Or it may never come back." It all depends on the mental structure of things. The condition of mute people is kind of hard to explain and it can't be helped. Just try to make sure she relaxes and doesn't get to stressed out. Keep her out of school for at least a week" he said and then a nurse popped into the door and yelled for the doctor "well go ahead and go to the main desk to sign the papers. Please if anything happens come and see me" he said and walked form the room.
I looked from Bulma and Bra with a worried look. What if he was right. Maybe I would never get my voice back. Even if I chose to tell Vegeta about the things that I have been thru I couldn't. What was I to do.
"Pan you want to leave now." Bulma asked and held onto my hand.
I shook my head and Bulma spoke to Bra now "Call the nurse again so we can get a wheel chair and get these iv's out of her." she said and began to smile at me. This eased my worries a bit even though I knew it was just a front that she was putting on for me.
I heard my grandfather groan and I looked over at him has he woke up. I didn't smile but I returned to my gloomy and expressionless face. He saw me awake and he began to nudge Chi-Chi to wake her up as well. He stood up and helped Chi-Chi to her feet and they walked over to me. "Pan your awake." Goku said and patted my head.
Chi-Chi's eyes brimmed with tears and she hugged me tightly. "Oh PAN!" She wailed "I was So WORRIED!" she said and my grandfather had to pry her away as the nurse Came in to take out the iv's and unplug the machines. I wanted to respond to them but I couldn't. I motioned to Bulma as the nurse removed the iv in my right hand. She understood and looked at Chi-Chi and Goku.
"Pan can't speak, her fever caused her a shock to the system and she can't talk." Bulma said and my Grandmother covered her mouth in shock and Goku looked worriedly back at me. The nurse took the braces on the sides of the bed down and then Placed my cloths on my lap. I began to move the sheets from the bed and then tried to wing my legs over the side. It hurt so much. Bulma tried to help me but I shook my head to her. I didn't want help. I could do it on my own. "DO you need help getting dressed Pan?" Bulma asked and I shook my head again. "Well I will close the curtain for you" she said and she walked over to the curtain and swung it so no one walking by the room could see. They all walked behind the curtain and waited for me patiently.
The rob was untied and to I just had to slip it off my arms. It fell to the floor and I slowly reached over and grabbed the bra from the bed and looked at it fro a bit. This was going to be a bit of a strain. I straightened it out and placed the snap in front of me. I fidgeted with it a bit and became very shaky and frustrated and finally I had gotten in snapped. I twisted it slowly around my body till the snap was in the middle of my back and placed my hands through the straps. I was already exacted but I didn't want to stay in this hospital much longer so I continued. I grabbed my shirt and placed my hands thru the sleeves and then lifted it over my head and let it slide down. Okay now I had to test my legs. I grabbed my black thong and pulled my knees up closely to me and placed one foot in at a time. I then got them as far up as I could before I had to stand.
I took a deep breath inward and let it out slowly. I slide of the bed easing onto the floor while I still held to the bed I let my legs slowly strengthen and then I released the bed puling the thong up further. I Plopped back down on the bed and grabbed my pant. Thank goodness they were loose. I one more pulled my legs up towards me and Placed one foot in at a time and stood up and pulled them up the rest of the way. I zipped them up and it took me a bit to get them buttoned but I was fine.
I looked to my side and saw the wheel chair. I didn't' want to use it. I really had to get back on my feet. I slowly lifted one foot after another and went slowly to the curtain. I pushed it aside and I was about to fall but my grandfather grabbed me. Thank goodness I thought as my hear was pounding. "Let me get the wheel chair" Bulma said but I put my hand up quickly and mouthed word to her and she understood. I wanted to walk. I held to my grandfather as I walked.
The pain was unbelievable but I walked anyway. I was limping but as long as my grandfather held to me I would make it out of this god awful hospital. We got to the desk and Pan to the spot of my legal guardian and signed the papers. It took about 5 minutes and we all left together.
Bulma went ahead and pulled up to the door in her little hover car (it sounds gay doesn't it "hover car" LOL). Goku picked me up and placed me in the front seat and everyone else piled into the back seat. I began to think again. I bet my parents were still out on a business trip and I bet Vegeta is back at CC training. What else would they be doing? It's just like my parents not to care though. I laughed mentally and forgot it soon as the pain pushed me back to the world I was surrounded in.
We arrived at CC quickly and I was once more lifted out of the Car and placed on the ground. I was then surrounded by my parents. I guess they heard.
WELL GUYS THAT IS IT FOR THAT CHAPTER… I AM NOT SURE IF I WILL GET ANOTHER ONE UP TONIGHT BUT I WILL TRY TO. LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH
